What caused Base blockchain’s 33-minute network outage?
Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, experienced a 33-minute network outage on Aug. 5 after a faulty sequencer transition halted block production.
Base’s block production paused for 33 minutes on August 5 due to a misconfigured sequencer.
The outage was resolved manually, with infrastructure upgrades now underway.
Other recent outages include Hyperliquid and TON, showing scalability scaling risks.
A bug in Conductor, an OP (OP) Stack component that oversees Base’s high-availability sequencer cluster, was the root cause of the incident. According to a postmortem released by the Base team, the sequencer handoff mechanism chose a backup node that wasn’t fully provisioned, which caused a halt in transaction processing.
